The fianchetto structure almost dictates the course of a middlegame because it provides attacking options for the side that goes for it based on piece play, but it also provides several clear attacking plans for the side playing against it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wFAaf08vyIw 2198 2020-05-15T12:52:59+00:00 https://chessterra.com/schachtechnik-13-bobby-fischer-zerdruckt-mark-taimanov-im-endspiel/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/yVbAO9A_7EU.jpg Schachtechnik 13 || Bobby Fischer zerdrückt Mark Taimanov im Endspiel Unterstützung über: In Folge 13 von Schachtechnik zeige ich euch drei Beispiele aus dem Schaffen des 11.

Rook and knight versus rook is, in my opinion, often discarded as an easy draw fairly undeservedly. It requires attention and practice to master. And, by doing so, you can save games!

Fourteen of the world's best players, including both World Champions, competed in a round robin format. The participants were (in order of Elo): Garry Kasparov (2805), Anatoli Karpov (2740), Alexey Shirov (2715), Vishwanathan Anand (2715), Vladimir Kramnik (2710), Vassily Ivanchuk (2710), Gata Kamsky (2695), Boris Gelfand (2685), Evgeny Bareev (2685), Alexander Beliavsky (2650), Veselin Topalov (2640), Judit Polgar (2630), Joel Lautier (2625), and Miguel Illescas-Cordoba (2590). When asked about the strength of the tournament, Kasparov famously stated that the winner could consider himself the world champion of tournament chess. Ironically, it was to be Karpov, his longtime rival, who would be the man of destiny, culminating in the greatest single tournament performance of all time! Karpov won the whole ball of wax, undefeated with an astonishing 11/13!! https://www.youtube.com/embed/j5ut_uytScA 920 2017-09-16T15:22:32+00:00 https://chessterra.com/its-not-over-till-its-over-learn-from-my-mistake/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Q3JQ5mUQTvY.jpg It’s not Over till it’s Over – Learn from my Mistake Croatian National League III C (2017), Hercegovac, sep 17 King's Indian Defense (E61) 1. c4 Nf6 2.

Among the grandmasters invited were Mikhail Tal and Paul Keres from the Soviet Union, Bobby Fischer from the United States, Svetozar Gligoric from Yugoslavia, Bent Larsen from Denmark, Wolfgang Unzicker from Germany, and Fridrik Olafsson from Iceland, five of whom participated in the world candidates tournament the same year. Although Tal viewed the tournament as a lesser event, it turned out to be closer than he would have expected. Although Tal easily defeated five of the six Swiss players, Edwin Bhend dealt the future world champion a blow in the first round. After dispatching his countrymen later in the tournament, Tal felt in fine form, but then lost again, this time at the hands of Gligoric, who would trail him only by half a point in the end. This was also a significant tournament for young Fischer. His play was already improving dramatically at international events against stronger opposition, and he came close to tying Tal in the final. Alas, a loss to the Swiss champion in the penultimate round cost Fischer a spot at the top and he had to settle for equal third with Keres. Tal won clear first with 11½ points out of 15 rounds. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bG-KPOvAy24 826 2017-09-19T17:32:26+00:00 https://chessterra.com/take-my-wife-please/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/UPkH545RS4s.jpg Take my Wife, Please!

He played this game as Black against the German strong grandmaster Lutz Espig in the year 1982. What's really cool about this game is that towards the end of the game, Tal almost checkmated his opponent with his King. Even though it's technically impossible to do so, almost illegal, but that's what happened in the game. And perhaps that is why we all love him so much because so often he found some crazy ways to finish off his opponents. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eApzmUaHmCs 759 2020-05-12T18:14:12+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-the-king-fischer-le-genial-joueur-dechecs-biographie/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/eG8Ray41h7Y.jpg Bobby "The King" Fischer le génial joueur d'échecs – biographie Biographie de Bobby "The King" Fischer par Diagonale TV.

He still needs three grandmaster-level tournament norms to become a grandmaster, but should he achieve this in the next few months he will become the youngest grandmaster ever, a record that was held by such legendary figures as Bobby Fischer, Judit Polgar, Peter Leko and Sergey Karjakin. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0kVdmBJmEjQ 555 2017-09-28T17:50:19+00:00 https://chessterra.com/carlsen-shows-how-to-crush-a-super-gm-with-1-b6/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/0gRIj0vkIU.jpg Carlsen Shows How to Crush a Super GM with 1…b6 Isle of Man Open • Live from Isle of Man 1.Nf3 b6 2. e4 Bb7 3.

Kasparov played the Berlin Defence (3...Nf6), with which Vladimir Kramnik had drawn against Deep Fritz in the 2002 Brains in Bahrain match (and which Kramnik had also successfully employed as a drawing variation against Kasparov himself in their 2000 World Championship match). Fritz, however, avoided the simplifying main line (4.0-0 Nxe4 5.d4 Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.dxe5 Nf5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8), instead keeping pieces on the board with 4.d3. Kasparov seemed to have at least equal chances until he blundered on move 32 when short of time (see time control) and lost. https://www.youtube.com/embed/APfad_SeCmE 356 2017-10-05T19:14:09+00:00 https://chessterra.com/crime-and-punishment-bobby-fischer-vs-boris-spassky-1972-game-11/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/mhupEQUHo2A.jpg Crime and Punishment – Bobby Fischer vs Boris Spassky 1972 – Game 11 Boris Spassky vs Robert James Fischer "Crime and Punishment" (game of the day Feb-03-2017) Fischer - Spassky World Championship Match (1972), Reykjavik ISL, rd 11, Aug-06 Sicilian Defense: Najdorf.

Fourteen of the world's best players, including both World Champions, competed in a round robin format. The participants were (in order of Elo): Garry Kasparov (2805), Anatoli Karpov (2740), Alexey Shirov (2715), Vishwanathan Anand (2715), Vladimir Kramnik (2710), Vassily Ivanchuk (2710), Gata Kamsky (2695), Boris Gelfand (2685), Evgeny Bareev (2685), Alexander Beliavsky (2650), Veselin Topalov (2640), Judit Polgar (2630), Joel Lautier (2625), and Miguel Illescas-Cordoba (2590). When asked about the strength of the tournament, Kasparov famously stated that the winner could consider himself the world champion of tournament chess. Ironically, it was to be Karpov, his longtime rival, who would be the man of destiny, culminating in the greatest single tournament performance of all time!

This game was played in Linares in the year 1994. The game is known for Karpov's genius positional play combined with an aggressive attack. In the middlegame, Topalov made a mistake of playing g6, when his bishop was developed to e7, therefore creating a dark-square weakness around his king. Eventually, his pawn structure was very weak and all his pieces were stuck on the queenside. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dt3h-_HmuX4 1014 2020-05-08T18:22:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/how-to-detect-and-correct-your-middlegame-mistakes/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/eujzECBEQ4.jpg How to Detect and Correct your Middlegame Mistakes 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): In today’s middlegame video I have covered a topic which is one of the key points of my own studies: correcting your middlegame mistakes.

Even though this is a theoretical draw, third of the games are lost. That is simply because it’s very hard to draw the endgame. I have tried to explain what has to be done to lose the position and I have gone over ways to fight for a win and over ways to hold a steady draw.

The chess game began with a 4 knights English with e3. Domínguez decided to take the pawn with his rook on move 18 which allowed Firouzja to dole out attacking move after attacking move. However Firouzja ended up missing a winning move on move 37 by going Re7 instead of Nh2. Soon Domínguez seemed like he had a solid defense set up. However despite both players having winning chances the chess game ended in a draw. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BO6SP-L2yPc 795 2020-05-06T20:06:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/reshevsky-was-expecting-resignation-but-then-he-calls-himself-stupid/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/A6f54DAgfkk.jpg Reshevsky Was Expecting Resignation But Then He Calls Himself “Stupid!” In this video I am covering the famous Evans vs Reshevsky game (US Championship (1963/64)) where in a lost position Evans pulls off a brilliant swindle and with the help of a stalemate achieves a draw!

Perhaps you are interested in game played in training match with Icelandic champion Hilmar Karlsson that was a preparing his match for 1984. My opponent and friend has died, but we played 6 games match and he had 1+ and this was the last game. He had won nice ending in Silician c3 variation. I have shown this game both to D. Bronstein who was my friend and also Bobby Fischer, and it was me who went over Fischers (Sæmi is my friend and Fischers) matter, he did not break any rules in USA this was all politics. Also Fischer was not sick at all had c.a. 1-2 Asberger but far away from being mentally sick. I asked Fischer though "Do you think it is wise to judge a whole nation from few corrupted politicians?" No excuse me he said I have good friends in USA. Both Fischer and Bronstein liked this game a lot. I had no chessboard so I told Fischer the game. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAXtSt3uYIw 397 2017-11-06T16:44:21+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-almost-brilliant-game-what-do-you-think-happened-here-iomchess/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/oVCuUr7MuXQ.jpg The “Almost” Brilliant Game – What do You Think Happened Here? #iomchess Isle of Man Open (2017), Douglas IMN, rd 8, Sep-30 Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical Variation (E32) 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3.

Use it!", which is often used to emphasis the strategy of using the king as an active piece in the endgame stage. In this video lesson, RCA guest coach IM Asaf Givon teaches this powerful chess strategy by showing a few example games - one of the games played by himself, and one from the current World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen against Pavel Eljanov. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yEC2MSo9o68 1255 2020-05-05T17:43:18+00:00 https://chessterra.com/dirty-trick-from-bobby-fischer/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/eFxuUmzfb6A.jpg 'Dirty Trick' from Bobby Fischer!

Team ChessNetwork was the team I competed for, naturally, along with 530 teammates. Members of the same team do not get paired against each other. The sum of the top 20 performers' scores equals the final team total for this event. In my mind if you compete for a team, you are a help to a team. Even if you are outside of the top 20 for team ChessNetwork, you are pushing other members to score higher. Moreover, defeating or even losing a hard fought battle to other competitors helps keep the scores of other teams less. Many thanks to all competitors of the Streamers Battle, May 2020, especially those who played for team ChessNetwork. :) https://www.youtube.com/embed/3UGQkWzTq6w 7506 2020-05-04T13:27:33+00:00 https://chessterra.com/beatings-like-this-shouldnt-be-recorded-carlini-rehab-update-too-killa-khalil-vs-great-carlini/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SjhOfm926HE.jpg Beatings Like This Shouldn't Be Recorded!

This move is sharp, aggressive, and shows that black wants to fight instead of allowing white to create his London setup without issues. If white plays the most principled way the move c5 will lead to pawn structures that resemble the Benoni. That means that black will have a “bad” structure with a weak d6 pawn. It is therefore necessary for white to be able to get outside of his normal London System comfort zone and to play against the Benoni.

The young Indian grandmaster Karthik Venkataraman (Karthik has been a student of RCA for a long time - said that his rating and performance are being stagnant and are not going up recently. He said "There has not been much of an improvement in my performance. I want to improve and I am not sure what to do or what is the best way.

Giving up material in order to improve your position and make your pieces better. This is hard for most club players because it requires you to imagine a square being weak despite it being occupied by (your own!) pieces or pawns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-gw_Ij5BR3U 1819 2020-05-01T09:39:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/kombinasi-ala-gm-bobby-fischer/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/8QKJW_nbgbM.jpg KOMBINASI Ala GM BOBBY FISCHER !!!

A knight draws easily unless it is separated from the king and trapped, or when it is stuck in a corner and lost because of zugzwang. It is therefore most resilient to stay in the center and to keep your knight and king together. If you end up on the edge of the board, do not despair. It is still a draw! Just keep the two pieces together and there will be no way for the attacker to make progress. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vrjEpMBn9ZU 986 2020-04-30T11:10:36+00:00 https://chessterra.com/here-we-go-again-ding-vs-carlsen-mc-invitational-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/g4pVhY1cu2o.jpg Here We Go Again! || Ding vs Carlsen || MC Invitational (2020) Ding Liren vs Magnus Carlsen Magnus Carlsen Invitational GAME 1, 30.4.2020 1. e4 Nc6 2.

It's a historic event: never before has a Swiss tournament with a classical time control been held online. You can call him crazy, or you can call him a genius.

The Tarrasch Variation is named after Siegbert Tarrasch. This move became particularly popular during the 1970s and early 1980s when Anatoly Karpov used it to great effect. Though less aggressive than the alternate 3.Nc3, it is still used by top-level players seeking a small, safe advantage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lt1A34kFBZQ 1352 2020-04-28T16:42:50+00:00 https://chessterra.com/centurini-position-chess-end-game-tactics/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/6qoybx52FKA.jpg Centurini Position: Chess End Game Tactics To practice the Centurini Position you can head over to: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6qoybx52FKA 1018 2020-04-27T22:06:52+00:00 https://chessterra.com/more-blunders-online-than-otb-ding-vs-nepo-mc-invitational-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/6Q0q6aZNT48.jpg More Blunders Online than OTB? || Ding vs Nepo || MC Invitational (2020) Ding Liren vs Ian Nepomniachtchi Magnus Carlsen Invitational GAME 4, 27.4.2020 1.

Carlsen has destroyed multiple fast chess formats. After shared firsts (but no title on tiebreak) in the World Rapid and Blitz Championships in December, he has won the three Titled Tuesdays, the Norway Chess blitz tournament, the Paris and Leuven blitz and rapid tournaments, the Champions Showdown match with Ding Liren, and now he has defeated Wesley So by the incredible score of 27.5-9.5 in the Speed Championship. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z7Bgy_UDjh8 586 2017-11-19T20:23:21+00:00 https://chessterra.com/magnus-isnt-the-only-carlsen-that-plays-chess/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/q8r2eRB5ck8.jpg Magnus isn’t the Only Carlsen that Plays Chess Ingrid Oen Carlsen vs Nadja Reci Gibraltar (2010), Catalan Bay GIB, rd 7, Feb-01 Philidor Defense: Exchange Variation (C41) 1. e4 e5 2.

Nd6 Protects the Q, who cannot be captured, because after 24...Qxb7 25.Nxb7, the white gains a piece; black cannot do 24...Rxd6 because 25.Re8# ; black cannot take the P because 25.Qd5 or 25.Qf7#; black Q cannot take the white N: 25.Qb3+ Qd4 26.Qxd4 Rxd4 27.Re8# ; thus, there is a perfect spiral of mates born of the unpleasant situation of the black King.

After yesterday's eighth round, Vishy Anand of India led the rapid event with 6 points; Russia's Alexander Morozevich dominated the blindfold competition with 6 1/2 points. The tournament concludes Thursday. Sometimes you wonder how much the players see when they are not allowed to look at the pieces. It is a pure joy to watch the Ukrainian veteran grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk conduct his attack against the Dutch champion Loek Van Wely. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UnMn02sOsM0 625 2017-11-28T21:49:34+00:00 https://chessterra.com/alexey-shirov-vs-ju-wenjun-2019-prague-festival-game-review/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/nur8WHHqACo.jpg Alexey Shirov vs. Ju Wenjun, 2019 Prague Festival | Game Review National Master Caleb Denby analyzes Alexey Shirov vs. Ju Wenjun from the Prague Chess Festival in 2019.

In this chess event, IM Danny Rensch looks to avoid "adoption" (losing in 10 consecutive chess games) against strong grandmasters across three different blitz and bullet time controls. In the Adopt-A-Danny debut, Rensch was able to withstand French grandmaster Maxime Vachier-Lagrave's pressure in the first two time controls, before succumbing to adoption in the bullet portion. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jNaFyTVUcUE 14147 2020-04-26T20:20:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/not-many-players-know-about-this-trap-in-sicilian-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/GKE91aU_IGI.jpg Not Many Players Know About This Trap In Sicilian Defense In this video I am covering a Lichess super blitz where Black wins by relying on a little known Knight sacrifice on move 7!

Vishy Anand played the Spanish Game Open Variation and Garry Kasparov came up with a brilliant opening preparation. He played a killer novelty at move 14.Bc2, and then sacrificed his rook for initiative. Kasparov was playing a rook down for the most part of the game while Anand was looking for ways to escape from the deadly checkmating threats from Kasparov. It looked almost as if Anand is the one who is down by a rook as they were tightly locked down on the last rank. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zRpSD4eQP44 1431 2020-04-24T15:56:19+00:00 https://chessterra.com/one-for-the-books-ding-vs-mvl-mc-invitational-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/gffKZm3FG8o.jpg One For The Books! || Ding vs MVL || MC Invitational (2020) Ding Liren vs Maxime Vachier Lagrave Magnus Carlsen Invitational GAME 5, Armageddon, 23.4.2020 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav, exchange variation (D31) 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3.

I read somewhere that it’s won 60% of the time! I wasn’t able to check that information, but it’s remarkable it true. The reason is that the defensive technique for rook versus bishop endgames is very complicated. And, more importantly, because the rook is a tricky piece and falling for double threats of mate and losing the bishop is always in the air. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PuwlB7vgr1M 1157 2020-04-23T18:00:38+00:00 https://chessterra.com/taktik-catur-dari-sang-legendaris-catur-bobby-fischer-trap-catur-talk-indonesia/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/5s4UaxwijN0.jpg TAKTIK CATUR : DARI SANG LEGENDARIS CATUR (BOBBY FISCHER TRAP) – CATUR TALK INDONESIA Oke kawan kawan pecinta catur Berikut kita akan membahas Taktik catur karena lumayan banyak yang meminta.

At the end of the USSR Championship (1925), Efim Bogoljubov emerged as the champion. He had participated as a Russian national although he was living in Triberg, Germany at the time. Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko, head of the Soviet Chess Association, in an effort to popularize chess in the Soviet Union, organized an international tournament of the scope seen in New York (1924) a year earlier. (1) The event was held in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow (2) from November 7 to December 10. In addition to the Soviet Champion, ten foreign masters, including Emanuel Lasker and Jose Raul Capablanca, the former and current World Champions respectively, and ten Soviet players were invited to compete in the round robin format. Before the start of the tournament pundits expected a repeat of New York, with Capablanca and Lasker racing each other to the finish, but once it was under way Bogoljubov was the one who performed supremely, ultimately winning the tournament ahead of the two favorites. His victory was hailed as a Soviet triumph, and in truth the tournament was an unprecedented success for the Revolution. Hundreds of Soviet citizens gathered at the hotel to follow the games, and tens of thousands across the country awaited news from Moscow each day. The celebration would be a bittersweet one for Soviet Russia, however, as Bogoljubov would never participate in another Soviet event. He defected a year later and eventually became a German citizen, earning him the moniker "renegade" (as Alekhine had). It was also a tournament that would be of enormous historical importance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VODTyOKx-Qs 678 2017-12-12T17:05:22+00:00 https://chessterra.com/agadmators-unannounced-30-tournament-for-subscribers-lichess-org/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/S-P4D59Qh30.jpg agadmator’s Unannounced 3+0 Tournament for Subscribers – lichess.org Tournament name: agadmator Arena Follow Jan Allmighty on Lichess rel="nofollow"> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you realllly enjoy my content, you're welcome to support me and my channel with a small donation via PayPal or Bitcoin.

The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves then 30 minutes to the end of the game, with a 30-second increment from move 1. No draw offers are allowed before move 40. A tie for first place is split by two 15+10 rapid games and, if the score is still tied, a 5 vs. 4 Armageddon game, where Black wins if the game ends in a draw.

That too when a young boy beats a seasoned grandmaster. Souhardo Basak beat GM Adam Tukhaev in the first round of Bhopal International Grandmaster event 2017. Souhardo, a shy 10-year-old from Kolkata rated just 1733 played a fine game to get the better of the Ukrainian GM who has won many big events in the past. Indian chess is blessed that it has four extremely strong tournaments lined up one after the other starting with Bhopal. It's a great exposure for our youngsters. Souhardo proved it in the first round. After beating a 2575 rated GM your confidence is propelled to an altogether different level! https://www.youtube.com/embed/fygrQX84tPs 827 2017-12-22T12:28:42+00:00 https://chessterra.com/11-year-old-aditya-mittal-crushes-a-grandmaster-with-a-blistering-attack/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/BlTCyNFJsfM.jpg 11-year-old Aditya Mittal Crushes a Grandmaster with a Blistering Attack Send me your photos and videos to this email :) His tiny figure barely reaches the table, but, sitting in his rather big wheel chair, he appears intimidating.

In addition to Fischer, six other US grandmasters, including former American champions Samuel Reshevsky, Arthur Bisguier, and Larry Evans, three US international masters, and two untitled players competed in a round robin event for the US chess crown. Fischer had won all five of the previous championships he had previously participated in and expectations for performance this time were quite high. Never one to disappoint when it came to chess results, Fischer completely annihilated the competition by earning a perfect score of eleven wins out of eleven games played. Afterwards, Dr. Hans Kmoch jokingly congratulated the runner-up Evans on winning the tournament, then congratulated Fischer on "winning the exhibition." https://www.youtube.com/embed/R1GN2xJyO2I 405 2017-12-22T20:27:52+00:00 https://chessterra.com/yasser-kasparov-smashed-the-clock-with-his-closed-fist-and-the-pieces-jumped-off-their-squares/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Pfs1oK-jpFw.jpg Yasser: Kasparov Smashed The Clock With His Closed Fist and the Pieces Jumped off Their Squares Send me your photos and videos to this email :) With this move Garry lashed out and smashed the clock with a closed fist. Unfortunately, the table happened to have little give to it and the end result was that all the pieces jumped off their squares. I was furious. Indeed, Garry had been so violent that on the adjacent board the game between Karpov and Gulko was also disturbed by Garry's outburst as their pieces jumped as well. So here I was, pieces spewed about, my clock running and now this. For the last few moves Garry had been doing his "piece screwing" business, and I had had enough." https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pfs1oK-jpFw 607 2017-12-23T16:48:09+00:00 https://chessterra.com/astronaut-greg-chamitoff-vs-nasa-ground-control-houston-we-have-a-checkmate/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/JtqJoQx8OkA.jpg Astronaut Greg Chamitoff VS NASA Ground Control – Houston, we Have a Checkmate Read the entire article here Greg Chamitoff vs NASA Ground Control Queen's Pawn Opening: Chigorin Variation (D00) 1. d4 d5 2.

She Doesn’t Want to be Treated Like a ‘Secondary Creature’ In a few days I am going to lose two World Champion titles - one by one. Just because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. Not to play by someone's rules, not to wear abaya, not to be accompanied getting outside, and altogether not to feel myself a secondary creature. Exactly one year ago I won these two titles and was about the happiest person in the chess world but this time I feel really bad. I am ready to stand for my principles and skip the event, where in five days I was expected to earn more than I do in a dozen of events combined. All that is annoying, but the most upsetting thing is that almost nobody really cares. That is a really bitter feeling, still not the one to change my opinion and my principles. The same goes for my sister Mariya - and I am really happy that we share this point of view. And yes, for those few who care - we'll be back! https://www.youtube.com/embed/8inuGXz_om0 514 2017-12-29T18:05:11+00:00 https://chessterra.com/brilliant-miniature-in-the-sicilian-by-two-time-ukrainian-champion-anton-korobov-wbc-round-12/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Akgb6ULpwk8.jpg Brilliant Miniature in the Sicilian By Two Time Ukrainian Champion Anton Korobov | WBC | Round 12 Send me your photos and videos to this email :) The "King Salman World Blitz & Rapid Championships 2017" in Riyadh from December 26th to 30th.

Amazing game :) As most folks interested in Paul Morphy know, Charles Amédée de Maurian had been his best friend since childhood. Paul's father and Charles' father (also Charles) were both lawyers, judges and politicos in New Orleans and lived near and associated with each other. Alonzo Morphy and Charles Maurian the elder were witnesses to the marriage of Judah Benjamin, later the Confederate Attorney-General and Sec. of War, to Natalie Bauché de St. Martin. Paul and Charles went to school together in New Orleans and later in Moblie, Alabama. Charles has the magnificant distinction of having been the only person tutored in chess by Paul Morphy. Outside of Morphy, Maurian became the strongest player in the Crescent City. He founded and was first president of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club in 1880 and edited the chess columns in the New Orleans Delta and later in the New Olreans Times-Democrat https://www.youtube.com/embed/fTjYWU6xpX4 765 2018-01-09T19:37:14+00:00 https://chessterra.com/morphy-misses-mate-in-5-after-a-queen-sac-can-you-spot-it/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/jzmnQZl1FMg.jpg Morphy Misses Mate in 5 After A Queen Sac – Can YOU Spot it? The first American Chess Congress was held in New York City from October 6th to November 10th, 1857. Daniel Fiske and Thomas Frere were the organizers, and the tournament was designed with similarities to the London (1851) format, with the provision that draws did not count and had to be replayed. The first prize was $300. The 16 best American masters were invited to participate in the event, including Paul Morphy and Louis Paulsen. Morphy dominated the event, sweeping each of his opponents until Paulsen in the final. Despite dropping one game in the final match, Morphy finished the tournament with an astounding 14 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jzmnQZl1FMg 560 2018-01-09T21:58:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/victor-korchnoi-vs-magnus-carlsen-a-rare-cross-generational-battle/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/lcGskIvAQYM.jpg Victor Korchnoi vs Magnus Carlsen – A Rare Cross-Generational Battle "Father Time and Baby New Year" (game of the day Jan-01-2007) SmartFish Chess Masters (2004), Drammen NOR, rd 3, Dec-29 Tarrasch Defense: Prague Variation.

For the sake of castling Anand gives back one of the won pieces and tries to built up the defense! Soon Anand finds himself in a position where he has an extra piece but a totally demoralized position! While White pieces are enjoying their activity, Black pieces are doomed to passivity, which makes the resistance very difficult! Under the pressure Black's defense soon cracks! Victory follows quickly! A steady attack by Judit Polgar which proves once again her great knowledge of chess theory! https://www.youtube.com/embed/uGJCtqGI6hw 559 2020-04-16T15:00:27+00:00 https://chessterra.com/leela-chess-zeros-incredible-pawn-storm/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Jw4G1czMxLw.jpg Leela Chess Zero’s Incredible Pawn Storm Here is a very exciting game played between Leela Chess Zero (free, open-source, and neural network-based chess engine) and Stockfish where Leela wins the game with an incredible pawn storm and a final exchange sacrifice!

When achieved, a rook on the seventh is seen as a huge, almost decisive advantage in the middlegame, and it often creates tactical opportunities which could bring the game to a rapid end. The middlegame is, of course, not as simple to learn as are openings or theoretical endgames, so there is no one easy formula for getting good at infiltrating the seventh rank. You become better at recognizing opportunities to do so and at creating and achieving strategic plans involving such maneuvers by analyzing games in which strong players have done it successfully. https://www.youtube.com/embed/178D3iL4SkI 2295 2020-04-17T15:33:52+00:00 https://chessterra.com/agadmator-friday-arena-lichess-org/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/UYI3sZTXscY.jpg agadmator Friday Arena – lichess.org Join the sub 1700 event here ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailbox where you can send stuff: p.s. this is not my home address :) Contact me: agadmatormanga@gmail.com or agadmator@gmail.com If you realllly enjoy my content, you're welcome to support me and my channel with a small donation via PayPal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UYI3sZTXscY 11659 2020-04-17T21:00:09+00:00 https://chessterra.com/just-when-you-thought-you-were-safe-morphy-vs-boden-1858/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/rg4xlN7kBME.jpg Just When You Thought You Were Safe || Morphy vs Boden (1858) Join the sub 1700 event here Start the Morphy Saga here This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged. The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rg4xlN7kBME 640 2020-04-16T18:50:15+00:00 https://chessterra.com/looking-up-too-much-makes-you-lose-perspective-leela-vs-stockfish-tcec-superfinal-season-17/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/cAIhA88SMuk.jpg Looking Up Too Much Makes You Lose Perspective || Leela vs Stockfish || TCEC Superfinal Season 17 Join the sub 1700 event here Watch all the games here live Leela Chess ZERO vs Stockfish King's Indian, orthodox variation (E94) 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3.

Nakamura didn't seem too concerned about overtaxing himself though, as he agreed to play 100 players all at once (the final number crept to 101). With the top player rated around 1950, organizers guessed that the event might last four hours. However, other masters correctly guessed that it would be closer to seven hours. Even Nakamura's Fitbit couldn't keep up—he said it malfunctioned after about 5,000 steps, but surely he paced more than that. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vJJbOtDSZHc 595 2018-01-22T19:53:43+00:00 https://chessterra.com/drdrunkenstein-magnus-carlsen-sacrifices-his-queen-on-move-10/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/xiXqQ5wqElg.jpg DrDrunkenstein (Magnus Carlsen) Sacrifices his Queen on Move 10!
